Welcome to Williams Audio - The Finest Guitar Pedals, Handcrafted in the UK

An amazingly faithful recreation of the early, highly sought after Tonebender MK11 Professional fuzz pedal.

This version is especially associated with early Jimmy Page tones. Sweet, singing sustain, definition, warmth and loves to be played loud! Incredibilly touch sensisitve and reactive to the player. And of course it also cleans-up beautifully with the guitar volume pot.

THIS is THE one for those vintage Jimmy Page Led Zeppelin tones! Partner it up with a great guitar and amp and you are in tone heaven, but of course it doesn't stop there, there is so much more to the MK11.

Finest Carbon Comp resistors throughout.

THE classic Tonebender used by Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and so many more guitar legends.
Amazingly faithful to the original and as good as the very best vintage or modern Tonebender MK11 you will ever hear.As close you can get to an original without the big bucks. Similar tones to the 'Whole Lotta Fuzz' model but at a great price.

This pedal will Nail those Beck / Page tones and by experimenting with the volume on your guitar will get you to many more classic fuzz tones from The Beatles to The Who to Bowie and beyond.

Based on the Dallas Range Master, This was the secret weapon of British guitarist's back in the day.
Used to create Eric Clapton's iconic sounds on the John Mayall "Bluesbreaker" album. Also famously
used by the likes of Rory Gallagher, Marc Bolan ,Tony Iommi and even on older Judas Priest recordings.

Many guitarists have said that it is the single best gear investment they have ever made, turning even the plainest old tube amp into a million dollar sounding amp full of vintage tones and amazing touch sensitivity. Sometimes the simplest things really are the best.

The Ranger now is fitted with a switch that lets you choose between the normal, sweet boosted Ranger tone and a fuller, more rounded boost still with that amazing germanium warmth and tone but also with just that bit more body.

I only ever use a Genuine Mullard OC44 germanium transistor from the 1960's as used in the original.

Fuzz Tone FZ-1- Maestro Fuzz Tone FZ-1 Replica

The original fuzz pedal used on all-time classics like The Rolling Stones Satisfaction. The original gnarly, raspy, honkey sounding vintage fuzz! Love it!

Built using an original as a reference, this build is as close to the original as possible using great vintage parts throughout. The original ran on 3 volts, 2 x aa batteries and so to maintain this part of this pedals unique fuzz sound and for ease of use, the Williams FZ-1 uses a standard 9v (pp3) battery like most other pedals but contains a small circuit to convert this down to the required 3v.

Williams Supa Tone - Supa Tone bender Replica

Built using 6 1970's originals as reference to create a big unique silicon fuzz that sounds superb with guitar and bass.

This silicon transistor based Tone Bender has the great fuzz wall of the Big Muff but a unique part of the Supa Tonebender's sound is that a small amount of the dry signal can be heard mixed in with the fuzz tone and this helps to create a really great fuzz with it's own character. Great sounds can be from the tone control, thick and woolly to bright and crisp. Also cleans up nicely with the guitar volume pot.

The Supa Tonebender also sounds amazing with bass guitar and was possibly used at times by Genesis' Mike Rutherford which would tie-in with the fact that Steve Hackett also used a Supa Tonebender.
